Re: Arsenal v Coventry LIVE/Discussion thread

[Eman]

Having United/Chelsea and City knocked out so early

So happy for Arshavin, always been my favorite player, been waiting for him to suit up this year so I could change my avatar to something of him. Got the perfect one now

He's one of mine as well. Very happy for him! Now let's just hope he does the same when we're actually watching

[urbaNRoots]

The League Cup Show is on atm on BBC1 for whoever wants to watch highlights of our win tonight - Live stream: http://freetvall.com/video/3D7RG2BY8AAU/BBC-ONE

Have to admit, that last Walcott goal had Henry written all over it. Very very classy, same goes to Arshavin throughout the whole game. Let's keep in mind this is a League One side though, the real test for Arshavin, Walcott centrally and Giroud is still ahead.

Sam what games can you watch with AFC membership?

I was at the game, so i'll write some of my thoughts, remember this is just my opinions so disagree if you wish

Negative aspects:

-Walcott was terrible apart from his goals, was anonymous for most of the game and gave it away when he got the ball
- Arshavin was still pretty bad tbh, he had moments of quality like he has in the past, but it isnt enough, one minute hes rubbish then the next he turns it on, far too inconsistent imo, very frustrating to watch. His bad moments are much more frequent than his better moments as well

Positive aspects:

- chamberlain played very well, and he scored an excellent goal
- giroud got his goal at last and it was a very nice little strike as well, a little dink over the keeper. He missed a penalty and gave the ball away sometimes but in general he played quite well. He held the ball and had some nice passes
- miquel looked good, composed performance by him

All in all it was a decent game, coventry were awful and never looked like they were going to be tough to beat

I watched Shrewsbury and Bolton league cup games last year on it. So all of them I think.

[SamuelJayC]

Anyone think Miquel will take Djourou's place as 4th-choice CB soon/next season?

[Lex]

(this was before the last goal, ofc )

Videos to follow tomorrow

anyone know why Podolski didn't play? I didnt even see him listed as a potential substitute on ESPN...

Replay.

Confucius says "don't use canon to kill mosquitoes"
Podolski playing would be using a missile to kill mosquito! a bit of an over kill don't u think?!

[TalkingReckless]

just saw the highlights, Yennaris was amazing

if we dont have many injuries.. Djurou will not have enough playing time and he will move on next season automatically making Miquel the 4th choice..

[julias]

Arsenal sold 60,000 tickets against a League One side. Chelsea sold 32,000 to a Championship side and Man City sold 28,000 to a Prem side.

History, Tradition, Class.

I can assure you there were no where near 60,000 seated people

however it was a good night at the emirates and the fans were mostly encouraging

[Quinten Metsys]

Ignasi probably played his best game in an Arsenal shirt and fully deserved his goal,having missed an opportunity before.But that defensive lapse Hasn't Bould started working with them yet?

Ignasi celebrated his goal by kissing the AFC badge.Hope he belongs to the Class of Wilshere and not Ca$hri

BTW,Did anyone else think that Gnabry showed flashes of brilliance in his little cameo?Good dribbling skills coupled with great vision and is German

[Highburied]

Tbh... Ignasi Miquel should have been 4th choice last season... latest this season.

It makes no sense having Djouru on your way because hes not gonna improve anytime soon.

Why not give Miquel a chance to show his potential?

agree with you
and i think it was more of djouru mistake for that goal coz he didnt mark the guy who scored.

[urbaNRoots]

Santos was caught out of position so it has to be his fault, Miquel had to come out and Djourou couldn't reach the ball then.

[Jay29]

Reading vs Arsenal will be live on Sky Sports on Tuesday, 30th October.

The player who scored was Djouru's mark... no??

[Lex]

As promised:

Giroud's celebration and a replay of the goal



The Ox's thunder strike



Miquel's goal



Theo's first goal



...and his second



Shazza's goal



Giroud's penalty miss



Miquel's bicycle kick

[Raptorgunner]

Thanks for videos Lex, hope one day I get to watch a game live.

[Highburied]

Amazing feeling...

I cant wait for 17th November.

[beatrixasdfghjk.]

How do you decide when you film, just whenever the ball gets into the final third? .
